Wedding Party
Sam
Matron of Honor
Sam is Ally's longest friend, and they have been inseparable since they were just 10 years old. From childhood sleepovers to standing at each other's sides on BOTH of their wedding days, they have always been one another's right hand. Sam loves Disney, jokes made for 13 year olds, and holds the very special title of Ally’s Matron of Honor.
Shawn
Best Man
Shawn is Brendan’s older brother (and an avid Bills and Sabres fan). Once known for pranking Brendan at every opportunity, he has now taken on the much more honorable role of Best Man. When he's not working as a health inspector for the City of Cambridge, he's building the most insane lego kits or spending his time with his rescue dog, Gus, who looks just like him.
Jules
Bridesmaid
Jules is one of Ally’s closest friends from UNH and a passionate environmentalist. You know when you meet someone and instantly know they're going to be a best friend for life? That's Julie Hamilton! She was also the first to sense something was going on between Ally and Brendan over 10 years ago, and has had a front row seat every since. When she’s not working at music festivals like Bonnaroo, she’s enjoying life in Colorado with her fiancé.
Mike
Groomsman
Mikey has been a part of the journey since the very beginning of college, always bringing nonstop ENERGY! A former roommate, but considered family from the start. This bilingual king lives in Brooklyn and works with families and individuals with disabilities. Some of the hardest laughs have come from time spent with Mike doing the absolute dumbest (and funniest) things...just don't let him get ahold of an embarrassing picture of you.
Jenna
Bridesmaid
Jenna is more like a sister than a cousin to Ally, especially being the only girls in the fam, and has been by her side through so many stages of life. She’s a talented hairstylist in Portsmouth, NH, and truly loves what she does. When she's not behind the chair, she's kicking back with a glass of prosecco and spending time with her dog, Bayda.
Alex
Groomsman
Alex was the first person Ally met at UNH and later became Brendan's roommate. He has been there for so many milestone moments, including capturing their engagement (yes, hiding in a bush included). A talented sports photographer who works in marketing and shares a love of pop punk music, currently serving as Ally's #1 concert buddy.
Talia
Bridesmaid
Helen was Ally’s first roommate nearly 12 years ago, a random match turned lifelong friendship! When she’s not traveling the world or cooking Michelin‑worthy meals for her and Mike in their Brooklyn apartment, she’s relaxing at her beach house in Virginia. Her acts of service include making sure Ally’s meat is off the bone (because she refuses to do it herself). Her and Brendan also share a favorite pastime: teaming up to tease Ally.
Paul
Groomsman
Paul is more like a brother than a cousin to Brendan, and their bond is truly one of a kind. One of the kindest people you’ll meet, Paul works in healthcare sales and is absolutely crushing it. He recently got married and bought a home with his wonderful wife, Callie. He will literally give you the shirt off his back!
Melissa
Bridesmaid
Melissa is Ally’s top-notch sister-in-law (married to her brother, Spencer). She is an MSAT scientist at Lonza, but in her downtime you can ALWAYS find her reading or sipping the best coffee around alongside her 4-legged children, Raisin and Walnut. She also shares a birthday with Brendan, which makes sense because they're basically the same!
Spencer
Groomsman
Spencer is Ally’s younger brother and only sibling (and first best friend, whether he likes to admit it or not). He's too smart for his own good, and has led development teams at the UNH InterOperability Lab for years. Outside of work, he loves rock climbing, rap music, and has been putting his heart into building a home with Melissa.
Patty
Bridesmaid
Patty is another OG UNH friend, former roommate, and Ally’s self-proclaimed “voice of reason.” She’s a licensed clinical mental health counselor serving the Seacoast area and beyond. Patty lives in Newmarket, NH, with her beloved elderly cat, Bustopher Jones. She has an incredible green thumb and will replicate your home in Sims if you let her.
Brian
Groomsman
Brian is another “brother cousin” of Brendan’s, known for always keeping it real with his honest takes. He loves Pokémon, getting tattoos, and traveling the world with his girlfriend Grace...who deserves a medal for putting up with him (in the best way).
Haley
Bridesmaid
Haley is Brendan’s (not so) little sister, the future Mrs. Josh Allen #17, and one of the most genuinely caring people you’ll meet. She likes to bake, has spent much of her career working with kids, and can almost always be found hanging out with the dogs at any gathering.
Adam
Groomsman
Adam is the final brotherly cousin on the list (and Paul’s actual brother). He’s an electrician by trade and certified extra-tall by nature. He shares a love of anime and video games with Brendan and the brousins, and ONLY responds to the nickname "Gentle Giant."
June
Mother of the Groom
Kate
Mother of the Bride
Marty
Father of the Bride
Fred
Father of the Groom
Drew
Speaker of the Ceremony
Drew is also a part of the original UNH crew and someone Ally considers a brother in every sense. Now working as a data analyst for the Federal Reserve Bank of SF, he’s living his Best Coast life while staying true to his South Shore Boston roots. Drew will always encourage you to be the best version of yourself, and his laugh is completely contagious.
